"I have to be perfectly honest, until I came to this office I was terrified of dentists. They are so friendly and patient oriented. They have changed my life forever. I hadn't been to a dentist in years and when I sat in the chair I tried to apologize. Dr Dickson said to me , no need to apologize, YOU'RE HERE NOW. Those words put me at ease and changed my life. I got rid of alot of disease in my mouth with the LANAP procedure and I am so much more healthier. I am a changed woman thanks to this office. They are great people and do wonderful work. I would send all of my friends and family to this practice. I am truly blessed to have them as my care givers. Maryann Tanis."

"A completely positive experience from initial consultation to outstanding results one year after LANAP treatment. Dr. Dickson puts one at ease immediately. He provided a thorough and concise explanation of periodontal disease and treatment options and performed the procedure skillfully and painlessly. Most recent cleaning was done by Sherry, very friendly and professional as is the entire staff. Looking forward to follow-up visits. "

"From the moment I entered the Institute's office, Dr. Dickson and his staff put me on a path to wellness. After fifteen years of undiagnosed Lyme Disease, that also affected my gums and teeth, I was in pretty sad shape. I could barely eat.
With a compassionate guiding hand, Dr. Dickson and his staff offered solid solutions to help me get my smile and my health back.
The care and attention to detail throughout my treatments were astounding. I would highly recommend the laser treatment for a number of sound reasons! Not only did the institute apply treatment, but they made certain that I was well trained in home care, providing me with all the tools I needed to make sure my treatment was a success, and always reinforcing that training to make sure it remained a success.
Once my gums were healthy, Dr. Dickson performed the implant for a long-missing tooth that had, for years, prevented me from smiling wide. I left the office with a beautiful new tooth and for the first time in years, my husband saw my old smile.
Again, I was amazed with the expertise, the care, and compassion with which Dr. Dickson and his staff completed the implant procedure. I felt no pain, and only a small soreness in my jaw and at the site of the implant. But the care and attention of those wonderful people did not end there. They teamed with my regular dentist to ensure that the permanent tooth for the implant was perfect in order to ensure that the implant remained a success. Again providing me with all the tools and training needed.
I have my smile back. But the care does not end here. The Institute will continue to monitor the health of my implant. Throughout the entire process, the care and attention remained at the apex of expertise.
Thank you SVII !"

"Dr. Dickson and staff are the best, they are very professional and very friendly. I lost both front teeth due to an accident, I had to have two implants, they answered all my questions, and through the whole procedure made me feel very relaxed and good about the outcome.

"I am more than happy to talk about my experience at SVII of Winchester. I presented with a pretty major situation of my upper anterior teeth which required extraction, bone grafting, reshaping of the gum tissue and dental implants. This process was critical to the best esthetic out come in the end.

My previous career was as a dental hygienist, so I was very aware of what I was facing and I was very nervous. From the time of my first visit to my final appointments, I was very confident with Dr. Dickson and his abilities to both be up front with me as to what to expect and the amazing outcome achieved.

Dentistry and dental implants have come such a long way that I see no reason why people need to fear replacing missing teeth or being fearful of the dream of a beautiful smile. Replacing missing teeth is so important to overall health and to a pleasing appearance. That dream is possible today with the team at SVII and Dr. Jeff Dickson. Thank you so much for turning my bad situation into the best possible outcome!"

"Hi, I would like to say to anyone that is thinking about getting the pinhole grafting done for recession should do it ASAP. I am very happy with the results and with my decision to have this done. Thank you Doc"

--David

"If asked what I think about Dr. Dickson’s office I would have to say he and his entire staff were very professional and helpful. They all went out of their way to make sure my experience was stress free and pain free. My procedure was a result of a medical accident, not of my own choice. I was nervous and apprehensive and they made me feel good about the whole process while also working with the insurance companies. They always made me feel like I was important instead of being just another patient. I would recommend Dr. Dickson to anyone. My teeth look great!"

--Barbara Grim

"Twelve years ago I was in an accident, at work, that resulted in extensive surgery to repair my jaw and four of my front teeth. Recently, I have begun to experience problems with the work that was originally completed. I went to Dr. Dickson, and his team, for a consultation and they have been working closely with me ever since. They have always been very clear about explaining every procedure and their state of the art equipment and facilities have made the procedures easier every step of the way. In addition, it becomes quite clear, as soon as you walk through the door, that Dr. Dickson and his team take pride in their work and their patients comfort. Dr. Dickson and his team have done a significant amount of work on me over the last two years and I can say that I have never been apprehensive abut the work to be done. They have also done an incredible job dealing with the case worker at the workman's compensation agency. My dental work will be complete soon, but I know for sure that the next time I need anything I'll call Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute. "

"I was very nervous about having a tooth extracted but Dr. Dickson made the whole process and experience almost pleasant. The whole procedure took about 10 minutes and I had no pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend SVII to anyone needed to have a tooth extracted. "

-Hunter and Penny H.
"Dr. Dickson and the staff did an amazing job on my extraction and implant. My extraction had to be the most difficult one, to ever do, considering how broken my tooth was. It healed quickly and the implant was amazing. I didn't feel any pain after the implant and was able to take my son to Chuck E. Cheese right afterwards, for his birthday. I will always go to Dr. Dickson's office for any periodontal work."

-Melanie G.
"My daughter was referred to Dr. Dickson for a frenulectomy. The staff and Dr. Dickson went above and beyond to make not only us but our daughter feel comfortable during her minor procedure. They also called after hours to check on her and see if we had any questions or concerns. I will definitely refer any friends or family that need a periodontist to Dr. Dickson."
